Let's divide 278930 by 88
We want to figure out the number of times 278930 can be divided by 88.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 88

Step 2:
When dividing 27 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 88

Step 3:
88 can be fit into 278 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 264 from 278 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 88

On to step 4:
If we divide 149 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 61.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 88 from 149 leaves us with 61.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 613 / 88

Going ahead to step 5:
88 can be fit into 613 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 316.0
Subtract 528 from 613 to get 85.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 85 and continue with: 850 / 88

Moving on to step 6:
88 can be fit into 850 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3169.0
Deduct 792 from 850 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
88 goes into 580 6 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3169.6
Deduct 528 from 580 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
88 can be fit into 520 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3169.65
Subtract 440 from 520 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 9:
88 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3169.659
Subtract 792 from 800 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
88 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3169.659
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
800 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3169.65909
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 792 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
88 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3169.65909
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 88 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3169.6590909
Subtracting 792 from 800 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
80 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3169.6590909
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3169.6590909 with a remaining 8e-08.
